Great local wildlife spot, over the years i have seen roe deer, munjac deer, grass snakes, woodcock, newts and many other amazing species over there. Lots of pools and ponds.
Quiet other than local neh do wells on motor bikes and quad bikes.
The large and ornate st marks church is situated amoungst the woodland, which still has some very old trees.
You can walk from pensnett on the fens pools nature reserve into barrow hill nature reserse, down the old railway line straight to the location of the now missing iconic crooked house, then on to himley and baggeridge country parks.
Wish barrow hill would get some funding and security to maintain, develop and protect the area.

A huge hill which we visited following a spell of rain so very very muddy. Not suitable for a buggy
Amazing lots of hidden Gems huge forest and large canyons from years of slate mining?
Such beautiful scenery, very local just all round lovely atmosphere. Very photogenic being surrounded by trees and nature, gorgeous spot.
This is a surprisingly large nature reserve that seems to sit mostly behind Russell's Hall hospital. It can be quite hilly in parts but the paths seem quite visible and easy to work you way around. More of a stick than ball nature reserve for dog walkers. Lovely walk which was over 5000 steps without going back on ourselves.
Nice scenic walk. No clear footpaths really, you just sort of do your own thing.
Bikers do ride around there so prepare for that. It is a little neglected but that could be due to the lockdown.

Only found the place by accident, but it appears to connect to other parks and near to Wrens Nest.
To be honest it looked a little bit neglected, which is a shame... Certainly some history to the place, since it used to be a volcano!

Nice place great for walks with or without the dog. Plenty of different gradients and paths so you can vary the walk. Spoilt by the odd bit of graffiti and a much bigger pain the off-road vehicles using some sections as their own race track. If the council could control such abuses and manage the paths a little better it would make it great again. Great views from the top of the hill, well worth it, you can even see Malvern hills.
